I dont like the concept version of CS, never had and never will. However the production car will be a stunner, afterall its BMW. It wont be design failure like some of you hope for.

Re: 8 Series? Article-Renderings

lol @ some of the people here. CS concept and the final production version will be close to idential from the outside, minus some very small details like more normal door handles.
Centurion simply can't handle the fact that this actually is going to be a very pretty car....we can't say that with Panamera.
And Artist....do some research before shouting things based on nothing.

You don't have a clue, or you say that not having a B-pillar on a concept is small? The difference between production CS and concept CS will nowhere be as big.
Ever heard of the VW new Beetle? That was a design concept that went into production almost unchanched.....and it was indeed very hard for VW to engineer the tech in a way that it would fit the shape. And that was a cheap car.

And the 6er vs Z9 is a TERRIBLE example. The 6er was never supposed to be a copy of the Z9. It was supposed to be influenced by it. Which it does superbly. The CS on the other hand is supposed to go into production with the same dimensions, even. As a copy indeed.

How about you show me where you did you research..
and ile show you mine..

Ile ******* give you 10000 if its identical to the CS concept..
But i know the story..the damn car will look like the concept..with the added UGLYness...and every BMW fan will say..its identical..the only things that are changed are for pedestrian laws..and for safety..thats why it differs..

Been there.. and heard it all before..

Tell it to someone else..

Me myself..ile wait until its out to see if it looks like the concept..
Until then this discussion is stupid imo

Of course it won't be exactly the same as the concept, but at the same time, there are people that are saying it will look like the concept since it had a very good feedback. I could be wrong of course, and I know the difference between those concepts I showed and a concept a la Ocean Drive. If the only difference is going to be minor things like side mirrors and what not, I think you should pay up to Kiler, hehe.

Like Klier said, the CS vs 8er/GT7 and Z9 vs 6er is not a good comparison.

And for shts and giggles:

Wait till you see this car move it has a definite "get out of my way" aura about it.
